Third, I didn't know there were other events also called 'bees'. What I don't quite get is how a spelling bee fits in with a common cause or helping someone. <br />It seems more just like a competition to me?DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-36515220381391313132011-03-15T08:46:00.650-07:002011-03-15T08:46:00.650-07:00It must be very interesting!

I remember entering the spelling bee in 6th grade. I won the county reading contest while living in Jellico, TN for the 6th through the 9th grades. Thanks for the good memories! <br /><br />How wonderful to find that today's youngsters are being taught to spell. I was beginning to wonder if the advent of the computer had put an end to good spelling and good grammar. ☻Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1374840862168255424.post-35192548370163204872011-03-15T05:01:14.700-07:002011-03-15T05:01:14.700-07:00I was thinking along the same lines as Hip Chick. ...I was thinking along the same lines as Hip Chick.
